Ezekiel 28:6-19

6Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of 1God,

7therefore behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall tarnish thy brightness.

8They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of those that are slain in the heart of the seas.

9Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am 2God? but thou shalt be a man, and not 3God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee.

10Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord Jehovah.

11And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, who sealest up the measure of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty,

13thou wast in Eden, the garden of 4God. Every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the emerald, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambours and of thy pipes was in thee: in the day that thou wast created were they prepared.

14Thou wast the anointed covering cherub, and I had set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of 5God; thou didst walk up and down in the midst of stones of fire.

15Thou wast perfect in thy ways, from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.

16By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane from the mountain of 6God, and have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18By the multitude of thine iniquities, by the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries: and I have brought forth a fire out of the midst of thee — it hath consumed thee; and I have brought thee to ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all them that behold thee.

19All they that know thee among the peoples shall be amazed at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.
